SD card not recognized

I've inserted SD card into photo viewer, powered the frame on and navigated to the "Select Card" screen. SD/MMC is listed as an option, but it is not highlighted nor can I select it as an option. Please help. I've inserted 2 SD cards and neither will work.

1. Just tap the buttons. Exit first and then Menu or one of the other functions. Holding them down too long seems to nullify the functions. Only the Power button needs to be held down for a second or two to turn the device on or off.

2. Use a USB to mini-USB cable to access the internal memory. Expect flakiness when you plug in the cable. Sometimes it will warn the USB 2 device is plugged into USB1 port. Ignore this and just look for a string of removable drive letters to show up in My Computer window. The one named FLASH Drive is the internal memory.

3. I reformat the internal memory (FAT32 seems to work fine) and this gets rid of the troublesome canned pictures that may be causing your lock ups.

4. I have had good succcess the xD memory cards from 16MB to 1GB.

5. I have not seen any prblems with edited photos or long file names - just be sure they are named with .jpg extension and not .jpeg. - go figure?

Pandigital photo frames are an ideal way to display your collection of
digital photos. You can view photos with or without a computer using
just a memorycard,
but it's always a good idea to transfer the photos you'll want to view
frequently to the internal memory of your frame. This is also a handy
way to back up your favorite images.

Transferring Photos from a Memory Card

Your digital photo frame's
built-in software will recognize six types of memory card: CF I/II, SD,
MS Pro, MMC and XD. Locate the slot on the back of the frame (to the
left of the stand) that corresponds with your type of memory card. These
are labeled as follows: SD/MMC/MSPro/XD, CF I/II, USB and mini USB.
Insert your memory card into the appropriate slot, power on your digital
frame, and it will automatically begin a slideshow using every
available image on your memory card. Note that only JPEG formats under
16 megapixels are compatible.

Transferring Photos from a PC

Use the USB cable that came with
your frame. Connect the mini USB end to the mini USB port on the back
of your frame; connect the large USB end to your computer's
USB port. Double-click the "My Computer" icon on your desktop or in
your Windows "Start" menu. You'll see that your computer has
automatically assigned a drive to your digital frame---look for a device
called "Removable Disk" followed by a letter (Removable Disk E:, for
example). This is the folder that represents the internal memory of your
digital photo frame; you will be dragging your photos into this folder.
Next, open the folder in which you store your photos ("My Pictures,"
for example). Select the photos you want to transfer to your frame. Drag
them to the drive associated with your digital photo frame---this is
the "Removable Disk" drive you located within the "My Computer" folder.
Every photo you selected will then be copied onto your digital frame.
After the files are copied, disconnect your digital frame properly.
If you don't, your frame's internal memory could be damaged. Look for
the system tray in your desktop's
lower right-hand corner. Left-click the icon that shows a gray box with
a green arrow on top of it. Select "Safely Disconnect Hardware." A
dialog box will appear, asking you to select the device to disconnect.
Select the digital frame and click "OK." When the dialog box appears,
click "Close." You'll see a message in the lower right hand portion of
your desktop telling you it's safe to disconnect your frame.

Copying Photos to Your Frame's Internal Memory

You can use your frame's remote
control to copy photos from your memory card or computer to the photo
frame's internal memory. Connect your photo source (computer or memory
card) and have your frame's remote control handy. Access the "Home"
screen on your frame using the "Home" button on your remote control or
by pressing the "Home" button on top of the frame. Next, choose "Photos"
and press "Enter." You'll see all your photos in thumbnail form. Scroll
through them with the up and down arrows. Press the "+" key to mark
photos you want to copy (use "-" to de-select a photo). When you've
selected all the photos you want to copy, press "Set Up," then "Copy
Photo," "Enter," "Selected" and "Enter." A dialog box will ask you to
confirm your selection; with the cursor on "Yes," press "Enter." The
photos you selected will be copied to the frame's internal memory.

Keep in mind that Digital Photo Frame can display the same photo continuously for 1000 hours without any damage to the LCD screen.
If you can enter to the settitgn menu, first make sure the system is properly powered. Then use a pin to
trigger the reset button located on the side of the power button on the
back to restore the system...

If this isnt work try...

Load all the photos you want to upload to the Photo Frame in the root directory of your memory card.

Power off your Photo Frame by pressing the Power button.

Insert the memory card into the slot in the frame. A For a Compact Flash card, firmly slide card in the larger slot end first and face down.B For an xD, SD, MMC, or Memory Stick card slide card in the smaller slot end first and face up until it locks into place.

Restart Photo Frame by pressing the Power button.

After a
few seconds, all photos in the root directory of the memory card will be
automatically added to Photo Frame. The root directory on memory card
will not be emptied after this operation.

Please do not remove the memory card just after inserting it in Photo Frame or when Photo Frame is counting the Photo.
Wait until the screen is stable.

NOTE: This operation does not apply to photos in sub-directories.

If anyone of this procedures work fine, I suggest contact your local service (check if even is underwarranty).

Your 4GB card is actually an SDHC card, not an SD card. While SDHC cards will fit into SD slots, they are electronically incompatible and will not work. You need to use an SD (or MMC or xD or MS), 2GB and smaller.

The above link goes to a site that describes how SD or SDHC cards can be used in newer C cameras such as yours.

Also, the following should be noted regarding sd cards:

Question :
Why doesn't my camera recognize the SECURE DIGITAL (SD) or MultiMedia (MMC) memory card that is in the camera?
Answer :
Your camera may not recognize the memory card inside for one of the following reasons:

The card is not fully inserted in the camera. Turn off the camera, insert a card into the slot, then push to seat it.

The card may be corrupted. Reformat the memory card. CAUTION: Formatting deletes all pictures and videos, including those that are protected. Removing a card during formatting may damage the card.

The card may not be a certified SD or MMC card. Purchase a certified SD or MMC memory card.

See your camera's user manuals for more information. Go to KODAK Product Manuals, and select the manuals you need.

The cause and solution may include one of the following:
The card may not be certified SD or MMC. Purchase a certified SD or MMC memory card.
The card may be corrupt. Reformat the memory card.
CAUTION: Formatting deletes all pictures and videos, including those that are protected. Removing a card during formatting may damage the card.
The card is not fully inserted in the camera. Turn off the camera, insert a card into the slot, then push to seat it.
